The role of dehumanization in genocide

A short thread 🧵 1/

Recent research has advanced understanding of why people participate in genocide.
2/ Influences like peer pressure, group norms and obedience to authority often outweigh deeply held beliefs or ideologies. Class, economic inequality and lack of resources also make some individuals more vulnerable to coercion. items.ssrc.org/insights/dehum…
3/ Several studies highlight the role of dehumanizing propaganda in promoting and shaping genocidal violence. While such rhetoric may not convince everyone, it shifts social dynamics by promoting the repression of dissent, theintercept.com/2024/02/07/gaz…

Zionist genocide of Indigenous Palestinians did not start on October 7, 2023, as some claim. It has been ongoing since the early 20th century.

A thread 🧵 1/
2/ Nationalistic propaganda merges the perception of ‘self’ with that of ‘nation’ into a cohesive identity loyal to the ruling class. Zionist propaganda fused Jewish longing for safety with white supremacist, messianic and fascistic ideologies aimed at land theft.
3/ Settler colonialism often relies on depicting targeted territories as inhabited by dehumanized, primitive barbarians unworthy of land. Contrary to the reality of an historically continuous Palestinian society with an educated and politically engaged urban elite and a

On Project Esther: A Trumpian blueprint to crush anticolonial resistance

A thread 🧵 1/

Created by the same minds that brought us the authoritarian, Christian nationalist “Project 2025”, “Project Esther” syncretises the story of Queen Esther,

To stop Zionist genocide, dismantling, deconstructing and decolonizing its propaganda is key.

Zionism relies first and foremost on a fabricated, white colonialist identity of a "new Jew," using a co-opted version of Judaism 1/
2/ in an anti-Semitic way to justify apartheid and genocide for capitalist, colonial land grabs. As such, the notion of "Jewish supremacy" is fundamentally reactionary, misrepresenting this manufactured identity as Jewish rather than recognizing it as white colonialist.
3/ It centers on identity-based, bourgeois liberal analysis rather than a materialist view of history, inevitably supporting reactionary tendencies to scapegoat society's vulnerable while the ruling class continue to plunder resources and subjugate people and nature.

On Netanyahu and Trump: The fascist tag team from hell

A thread 🧵 1/

In their demagoguery, corruption, racism and lack of social conscience, Trump and Netanyahu are mirror fascist images.
2/ They deploy a right-wing, ethnocentric populist appeal with dog whistles and fear-mongering to consolidate power. Operating above and outside the law, they avoid corruption trials, inhabiting the same unrestrained, tyrannical Hobbesian world.

3/ Essentially, Trump and Netanyahu aim to promote private capital by fragmenting the working class, pushing relentless privatisation of social resources and eroding workers' rights and union protections. They rely on a fabricated white, Western “nation”

On the impending crackdown on anti-genocide campus protest.

A thread 🧵 1/

As a new academic year starts and Zionist genocidal aggression continues in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon students are once again mobilising in protest.
2/ These student protesters are already facing further intimidation from university administrations, threats from political leaders, abuse from the police and unsubstantiated accusations of anti-Semitism from mainstream media. aljazeera.com/program/newsfe…
3/ Moreover, campuses this academic year are facing a new threat: intimidation  from so-called Zionist “self-defence” groups with far-right links.
